Leviticus 18:2
繁體中文
英文原文
I am, the Lord your God - The frequent repetition of this formula in these parts of the Law may be intended to keep the Israelites in mind of their covenant with Yahweh in connection with the common affairs of life, in which they might be tempted to look at legal restrictions in a mere secular light.

Leviticus 18:3
繁體中文
見利 18:24-30註釋。
英文原文
See the Leviticus 18:24-30 note.

Leviticus 18:5
繁體中文
人若遵守神聖律法的「律例」(即利 18:4的規條)與「典章」,就不致「從民中剪除」(參利 18:29),且要得着真正的生命——藉着順服使他與耶和華相連的生命。參頁邊參考經文及路 10:28;羅 10:5;加 3:12。
英文原文
If a man keeps the "statutes" (i. e. the ordinances of Leviticus 18:4) and "judgments" of the divine law, he shall not be "cut off from his people" (compare Leviticus 18:29), he shall gain true life, the life which connects him with Yahweh through his obedience. See the margin reference and Luke 10:28; Romans 10:5; Galatians 3:12.
6
Leviticus 18:6
繁體中文
「骨肉之親」——見頁邊註。這詞顯然只用來指血緣在特定範圍之內的人,以及因姻親關係而被視為同等親屬的人。
「露其下體」——即發生性關係。這律法的直接目的,是禁止亂倫。
英文原文
Near of kin - See the margin. The term was evidently used to denote those only who came within certain limits of consanguinity, together with those who by affinity were regarded in the same relationship.
To uncover their nakedness - i. e. to have sexual intercourse. The immediate object of this law was to forbid incest.
7
Leviticus 18:7
繁體中文
「或是」——也可譯作「和」,更宜譯作「即」;意即因父母本是「一體」,故同屬雙方(創 2:24;參利 18:8、18:14)。這些禁令是對男人說的。
英文原文
Or - It might be rendered "and", or rather, even; that is, which belongs to both parents as being "one flesh" (Genesis 2:24; compare Leviticus 18:8, Leviticus 18:14). These prohibitions are addressed to men.
8
Leviticus 18:8
繁體中文
可比較流便的事(創 49:3-4)。見林前 5:1。
英文原文
Compare the case of Reuben, Genesis 49:3-4. See 1 Corinthians 5:1.
9
Leviticus 18:9
繁體中文
「你的姊妹」——這裏所論及的,正是埃及人特有的罪行。
英文原文
Thy sister - What was here spoken of was the distinguishing offence of the Egyptians.
12
Leviticus 18:12
繁體中文
「你的姑母」——暗蘭與約基別的事(出 6:20)似乎表明,以色列人在埃及時,娶姑母並不被視為不對。
英文原文
Thy father's sister - The instance of Amram and Jochebed Exodus 6:20 seems to show that marriage with an aunt was not considered wrong by the Israelites when they were in Egypt.
16
Leviticus 18:16
繁體中文
「你兄弟的妻子」——意即若她已有兒女。見 Deuteronomy 25:5。這裡所表達的律法，已被安提帕在與希羅底的結合中違犯了（Matthew 14:3-4）。
英文原文
Thy brother's wife - That is, if she had children. See Deuteronomy 25:5. The law here expressed was broken by Antipas in his connection with Herodias Matthew 14:3-4.
18
Leviticus 18:18
繁體中文
「擾害她」——按字面是「捆綁」或「捆作一堆」的意思。猶太註釋家以利亞和拉結的例子（Genesis 29:30）說明這一點。
英文原文
To vex her - literally, to "bind" or "pack together". The Jewish commentators illustrate this by the example of Leah and Rachel Genesis 29:30.
21
Leviticus 18:21
繁體中文
「摩洛」——見 Leviticus 20:2-5 的註釋。
英文原文
Molech - See the note at Leviticus 20:2-5.
24
Leviticus 18:24
繁體中文
耶和華為祂的百姓所設定、所分別為聖的那地（Leviticus 25:23），在此被擬人化，描繪成因現今的居民沉溺於上文所述那些可憎之事，而把他們吐出來。迦南人的罪孽這時已經滿了。見 Genesis 15:16；參 Isaiah 24:1-6。以色列人在此處，也在全章之中，都是基於聖者耶和華是他們的神、他們是祂的百姓這一事實，受勸勉過純潔而聖潔的生活。參 Leviticus 19:2。正是憑著這崇高的權柄，他們被斷然禁止以外邦的污穢玷污自己。這裡對個別違犯者所宣告的唯一刑罰，是他們必「擔當自己的罪孽」，並「從百姓中被剪除」。我們必須把後一個片語理解為「當然生效」（ipso facto）的除名或逐出法外：神的律法向犯罪者宣告，他作為與耶和華立約之民中的一員所享有的特權，即時喪失。見 Exodus 31:14 註釋。律法在此所循的途徑看來是：首先根據個人與耶和華的關係訴諸其良心，然後在 Leviticus 20 制定國家秩序所要求的刑罰，亦即代表全民的集體良心付諸施行。
英文原文
The land designed and consecrated for His people by Yahweh Leviticus 25:23 is here impersonated, and represented as vomiting forth its present inhabitants, in consequence of their indulgence in the abominations that have been mentioned. The iniquity of the Canaanites was now full. See Genesis 15:16; compare Isaiah 24:1-6. The Israelites in this place, and throughout the chapter, are exhorted to a pure and holy life, on the ground that Yahweh, the Holy One, is their God and that they are His people. Compare Leviticus 19:2. It is upon this high sanction that they are peremptorily forbidden to defile themselves with the pollutions of the pagan. The only punishment here pronounced upon individual transgressors is, that they shall "bear their iniquity" and be "cut off from among their people." We must understand this latter phrase as expressing an "ipso facto" excommunication or outlawry, the divine Law pronouncing on the offender an immediate forfeiture of the privileges which belonged to him as one of the people in covenant with Yahweh. See Exodus 31:14 note. The course which the Law here takes seems to be first to appeal to the conscience of the individual man on the ground of his relation to Yahweh, and then Leviticus 20 to enact such penalties as the order of the state required, and as represented the collective conscience of the nation put into operation.
「我是耶和華你們的神」——這一語式在律法的這些部分屢屢重複,用意或許是叫以色列人在日常事務中謹記他們與耶和華所立的約;因為在這類事上,他們容易受試探,把法律的限制純然視為世俗之事。
